I KEEPERLESS LIGHTHOUSE. • Near the Isle of Guernsey, Scene of Hugo's "Toilers of the Sea." r The first unattended rock lighthousfe^ with a powerful fog signal is the re- cently completed Platte Fougere light- house, ninrking the entrance to Rus- sell channel leading to St. Peters Port, Guernsey, a spot which figures in Vic tor Hugo's romance, "The Toilers of, the Sea." The lightlioiise contains many in- genious electrical devices, controlled from the shore by a submarine cable nearly a mile and a half long. By its aid the foghorn and siren are regular- ly blown â€" they have been heard thirty niles away on the French coast â€" while the current it carries also controls the light in the lantern. It is proposed to use this type of automatic lighthouse for illuminating i Hudson Bay and Hudson Straits in ; connection with the opening of these waters and the carriage of wheat by the new railway to Fort Churchill. A proposal to establish similar lights on the more exposed and barren coasts â-  of South America has also been con- | sidered. i The automobile horn was adopted In this counti7 in 1900 to iubstitute j whistles, bells, gongs, etc. j By adding 50 per cent, coal oil to che waste oil drained out of the en- gine, a very efficient mii.xture is ob- ' tained for the use on springs, which ; will keep them in the finest condition. | Through the New Blood Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills Actually Make. No mother should allow nervous weakness to get the upper hand of her. If she does worry will mar her work in the home and torment her in body and mind. Day after day spent amid the same surroundings Is enough to cause fretfulness and de- pression. But there are other causes, as every mother knows, that tend to make her nerves run down. A change would benefit her jaded system, and rest might improve her blood so as to give the nerves a better tone. But rest and change are often Impossible, and it is then that all worn out wo- men should take a short treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, which make new blood, rich with the ele- ments on v^hich the nerves thrive. In this way these pills restore regu- lar health, increased energy, new am- bition and steady nerve. There is a lesson for other women in the case of Mrs. Harry P. Suider, Wilton. Ont., who says:â€" "Five years ago my twin babies were born, and I was left very weak and very miserable, hardly fit to do anything. The doctor gave me med'cine, but it did not help me. Then I tried another doctor, but with no better results. One day I went [ home to my mother, telling her how miserable I felt, and that the doctor's , medicine had not done me any good. Mother asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as I was glad to try anything that might i help me, I got three boxes when 1 1 'went back home. By the time these i were used there was no doubt they were helping me, and I got three I more boxes. But I did not need them \ all, for by the time the fifth box w«s ! used, I was entirely cured, and never j felt better in my life. Now when I hear people talk about feeling weak or miserable I always recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and tell what they did for me. and in similar cases I shall continue to recommend them." At the first sign that the blood is out of order take Dr. Williams' Pink ; Pills, and note the speedy improve- 1 meat they make in the appetite, health ] and spirits. You can get these pills through any medicine dealer or by ! mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for I $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medi-! cine Co., Brockville. Ont. 'â- > I MOONS OF PLANETARY SYSTEM. The origin of moons is one of the â-  mysteries of astronomy. If. as some \ star-gazers assert, our lunar orb was i thrown off from the earth when the ' latter was a molten, fiery mass â€" the j Pacific ocean being the hole left by its ; departure â€" we have a special right to ! feel a proprietary interest in it. I On the other hand, the two little I moons that revolve about Mars like golden shuttles are strongly suspected : to be asteroids (minor planets), cap- tured out of space. The larger of them, Phobos, only sixty miles in diameter, ! is much smaller than many of the '. known asteroids. â-  We are rather poorly otC for moons. | Saturn has eight, the biggest of them. ; Titan, being nearly twiPe the size of ; our orb of slight: and Jupiter posses- ses four, the largest of which, Gany- mede, is greatest of all moons In our : planetary system, having a diameter of 3.4S0 miles. j At least two or three of Jupiter's I moons are still hot. as proved by the \ fact that they give out some light of their own. It is very interesting to watch, through a telescope, the shad- ows thrown upon that giant planet by its moons, observation of the eclip- ses of which furnished the first data for estimating the velocity of light. Uranus has four little moons, which, oddly enough, rise in the north and set in the south. Neptune possesses only one. rather diminutive, which traver- ses the sky from southwest to north- east. The most remarkable guess on re- cord had to do with moons. Dean Swift, a century before the moons of Mars were discovered, made Gulliver say of the astronomers of Laputa: "They have found two satellites which revolve about Mars, whereof the in- nermost is distant from the planet exactly three diameters of the planet. The former revolves in the space of ten hours and the latter in twenty- one and a half hours." As a giatter of fact, the inner moon to 10,000 miles from Mars, whereas - the diameter of the planet being 4.000 miles â€" Gulliver's estimate wotild place it at a distance of 12,000 miles. For the outer moon he gives 20,000 miles as the distance, which ie really 15,000 miles. The tinie of revolution for the inner moon is actually seven and a half hours and for the outer one thirty hours. _ .ji Peace. This morning with the whistles ringing shrill. Bells peeling loud with glee. From out the darkness stole a whis- per sweet, Peace, peace to thee! The nations from their Calvary have passed, And lo: on earth the morning breaks at last. Peace I Peace! How often have I heard thy voice In solicitude's release; The peace of woods, of fields, of hill, of vale; Yet more than these; For'^there amid the darkness, seems to me, That we have caught the purport of thy plea. The right to strive, though fail, to rise again. And thus, with courage strong, To hold for them a purer heritage In days to come; Friend of the weak, balm of the wearied heart; Ah! this is worthy of a conqueror's part. To know above the fields "where pop- pies blow," Their spirits glad and free; That they have won e'en -sweeter dwelling place Than this could be; That they have found the rainbow in the skies, i .And gained the light reflected in our ^ eyes. i To find a strengthened faith in powers of good â€" Humanity's deep song; To know that thus e'er reigns eternal love Above the wrong. And, though the darkness cloud earth's fairest things. We still may find the healing of Thy wings. To find within the morning all we've lost, The suffering soul's surcease; To find at dawn of day an ampler life; Yea, this is peace. RED HOT JULY DAYS HARD ON THE BABY July â€" the month of oppressive heat; red hot days and sweltering nights, is extremely hard on little ones. Diarr- hoea, dysentery, colic and cholera in- fantum carry oft thousands of precious little lives every summer. The mother must be constantly on her guard to prevent these troubles, or if they come on suddenly to fight them. No other medicine Is of such aid to mothers during the hot summer as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and stomach, and an occasion- al dose given to the well child will prevent summer complaint, or it the trouble does come suddenly will banish it. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville. Out. , The Miracle. Love met a worldling on the way, And softly crept into his breast; Straight self and greed refused to stay Where love had dared to build a nest. Into a grim and cheerless home Love forced his way through bar- riers tall, Fled wretchedness and chill and gloomâ€" The golden sunshine flooded all. â€" Jean Blewett. HOME BANK'S RECORD YEAR The report submitted at the An- nual Meeting of the Home Rank of Canada Indicated that the Bank had enjoyed the moat successful year in its history. The DroKress made by the Home Bank durin*? the past few vears was referreti to particularly bv General Manager Mason, who pointed out that the litjuid assets now amounted to over 57% of the total liabilities to the public, or actual cash assets were the .stroneeft In the history of the Pank. representinjr approximate- ly 22^; of total liabilities to the pub- lic. Large sains were also made in deposits, the increnfe for the past twelve months havinif amounted to over three and a half millions, not- withstanding the fact that 9.50S of the depositors had subscribed over $4.i»00.000 to the last Dominion Vic- torv Loan. , The increase in deposit-s during the war period had amounted to over ten million dollars, an increase of over 105 p.c. and reflects the in- creased patronase extended the bank by the public in both -savlnirs and (reneral commercial lines. None of these figures include deposits of the Dominion Government. The general statement of assets and liabilities everywhere reflects the progress made, the total assets of the bank now standtne at $3S.- 635.924. as compared with $23,675.- 773 at the end of the previous year. Total deposits now stand at $18,500- 000. as compared with $14,600,000 at the end of the previous yetir. The Profl# and Loss Account is al- so of special interest to sharehold- ers, as it reflects a gain in profits and has permitted of an appropria- tion to rest account of $100,000. The net profits for the year amounted to $238,753. equivalent to 10.63 p.c. of the paid up capital and reserve fund. After the payment of dividends and various appropriations, includ- ing $100,000 to Rest .\cccunt. the amount carried forward was $15S.- 348. as compared with $150,371 for the previous year. « â-  FIRE THAT IS HARD TO PUT OUT. Water is not of much use for putting out an oil fire. It may. Indeed, be much worse than useless, for burning oil floats on it, and may thus be car- ried to considerable distances, spread- ing the fire far and wide. Steam turned upon the flames through pipes is often highly effective. If its volume is sufficient a cloud will be formed that serves as a blanket, filling the tank about the oil and ex- cluding air from it. Much more satisfactory, however, la the newer method of bringing together two chemical solutions, and spread- ing over the surface of the burning oil the thick foam resulting from their combination, thereby excluding air and extinguishing the flames. The steam method works very well with gas well fires, a number of por- table field boilers being set up and steam thrown from them upon the burning gas column in the form of spray. If the gas stream can be In- terrupted for only a moment just above the point of discharge the fire will be put out. For putting out small gasoline flres (especially on the floorl sawdust works surprisingly well. It floats for a while on the surface of the burning liquid, forming a blanket which ex- cludes the air and smothers the flame. Dry sawdust seems to serve as well as moist. Frothy mixture solutions of the kind above described, when put up In port- able containers of convenient size, are useful in extinguishing small flres about garages. Sometimes electricity generated by the friction of flowing gasoline against the bottom and sides of a can. or even by the flow of gasoline through a rub- ber hose, produces a spark which, dis- charged into an automobile tank that is being tilled, ignites the fluid with serious or disastrous results. To guard against accidents of this kind Is for obvious reasons most diSicult. BiTS O? y^MOR trUMBlMO. He Knew Why. Mrs. Henpeckâ€" She's very pretty. but she hardly says a word.

[ In the Book of Genesis. \ There had been a heavy downfall of rain, and the district manager of a Scottish railway was quickly on the warpath. He telegraphed along dif- ferent sections of the line as follows: "Send full particulars on the flood." Now there was a man on a parti- cular section of the line where no flooding had taken place, and he de- cided that the message was a joke, so he wired back as follows: "Look in the Book of Genesis."

These are some of the amazing facts in Sir Douglas Haig's final des- patch: â€" General Headquarters received 9.- 000 telegrams in one day. and 3,400 letters by despatch-riders. One army headquarters had 10,000 telegrams In a day. and the daily telegrams on the lines of communication were 23.000. There were 1,500 miles of tele- graphs and telephones, and 3,6S8 miles of railways, on which 1,800 trains ran weekly. In six weeks 5,000,000 rations were supplied, by our armies in France, to SOO.OOO civilians in the relieved areas. The total daily ration strength of our armies was 2.700.000. An addition of one ounce to each man's ration re- presented an extra 75 tons. Over 400.000 horses and mules and 46.700 motor vehicles were used, and 4,600 miles of road made or main- tained. In 1914 there was one machine gun to 500 infantrymen in the British army, at the armistice there was one machine gun to 20 Infantrymen. Over 700,000 tons of ammunition were fired by our artillery on the western front from last August to the armistice. Th(5 number of Individual landings at the ports managed by the British armies in France exceeded 10.000.000 up to the armistice, while in the last eleven months of the war the average weekly tonnage landed at those port>» vaa 1! 3.000 tons. LEMONS WHITEN AND BEAUTIFY THE SKIN. Make this beauty lotion cheaply for your face, neck, arms and hands. At the cost of a small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare a full quar- ter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beauti- fier. by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white.

Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan aad is the ideal skin softener, whitener and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ounces ot orchard white at any dnig store and two lemons ivom the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this s-weetly fra- grant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face. neck, arms and hands. It is marvelous to smoothen rough, red hands. Another Halg Story. Earl Dartmouth, the Governor of the Zlngarl Cricket Club, has related a new story of Sir Douglas Haig. When Sir Douglas was invited to accept the freedom of the club, he was reminded by Earl Dartmouth of its three prin- ciples â€" "keep your promise, keep your temper, and keep your wicket up." The Field Marshal promptly replied: "Your principles are worthy of the nation that entered the war to keep its pro- mise, that kept Its temper through ill- fortune and through good, and please God, will keep its wicket up until its promise has been redeemed." "Blurting out facts, in season and out of season, is not necessary to truth; to hold the tong:u« is also a morality." â€" Ibsen.
